Photography involves the technology of handling a camera as well as the art of choosing the right subject and angle for your photograph. You must know which type of film you are using, the aperture of your camera and the exposure you have set as also it is important to choose the correct subject.
If you are doing a still photograph of say some pieces of ornaments or furniture or paintings etc. you can easily adjust the background (preferably a plain, one-color cloth or wall) or lighting (never directly behind the camera or on it, but always at a proper slant). If you want to take nature, it must be preferably a not-so-windy and not-very-foggy situation. Also you must have an SLR camera for the job. If you wish to snap some people then they should be posing in the right way, i.e. if you want to capture the activity, then people must be posing as naturally as possible (sometimes its better not to tell a person that you are clicking at him/her). Top 10% will get the prize & certificate, while the topper gets the Abhinav Star. | Scroll below for details of various rounds Perspective - (Std 8 To 12) 22 Dec, 09:00 AM Ends - 03 Jan, 05:00 PM
